Born to a large impoverished family, Dion emerged as a teen star in the French-speaking world after her manager and future husband René Angélil mortgaged his home to finance her first record. In 1990, she released the anglophone album Unison, establishing herself as a viable pop artist in North America and other English-speaking areas of the world.
Dion had first gained international recognition in the 1980s by winning both the 1982 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival and the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest.Following a series of French albums in the early 1980s, she signed on to CBS Records Canada in 1986. During the 1990s, with the help of Angélil, she achieved worldwide fame after signing with Epic Records and releasing several English albums along with additional French albums, becoming one of the most successful artists in pop music history. However, in 1999 at the height of her success, Dion announced a temporary retirement from entertainment in order to start a family and spend time with her husband, who had been diagnosed with cancer.She returned to the top of pop music in 2002 and signed a three-year (later extended to almost five years) contract to perform nightly in a five-star theatrical show at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas.
After performing in 25 countries during the Taking Chances World Tour which ended in February 2009 (one year after it began) she took another 2 year hiatus, focusing on expanding her family. After 6 in-vitro tries she gave birth to twin boys Nelson and Eddy in October 2010. In the meantime she announced her return to Vegas, her new show simply named "Céline" premièred on March 15th 2011 to spectacular reviews by media and audience.
Dion's music has been influenced by genres ranging from rock and R&B to gospel and classical. While her releases have often received mixed critical reception, she is renowned for her technically skilled and powerful vocals. Dion is the best selling Canadian artist of all time; and her album D'eux is the best selling francophone album of all time. Dion is regarded as one of pop music's most influential voices. Linda Lister describes Dion as a reigning Queen of Pop for her influence over the record industry during the 1990s. On a cultural level, Dion is credited for introducing francophone music to many non-francophone countries around the globe. Dion is also credited for both revitalizing and revolutionizing the entertainment scene in Las Vegas with the gargantuan successes of her residencies there. She managed to re-popularize the Las Vegas "residency" as a desirable way for top artists to essentially tour in place, letting their fans come to them. Over the years, fellow established icons such as Britney Spears, Elton John, Bette Midler, Rod Stewart, Cher and Shania Twain followed suit.
Cherche Encore
Céline Dion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trop d'inaccessibles échelles
Dans tes rêves et dans tes mots
Tu as choisi l'envers à la peine
Ailleurs ou d'autres arcs-en-ciel
Tracent des mondes plus beaux
Tant que brûlera ta flamme
Le paradis qui dort
Dans les secrets de ton âme
Cherche encore
Suis ta lumière et tes lois
Si tu peux, cherche encore plus fort
Et si jamais tu te perds
Je serai là
Je serai là
Je veux rester dans ton histoire
Une petite porte ouverte
Dans le couloir où tu fuis
Derrière les barreaux de ta mémoire
Même où la raison déserte
Je t'entendrai sans un cri
Va plus loin, cherche encore
Tant que brûlera ta flamme
Le paradis qui dort
Dans les secrets de ton âme
Cherche encore
Suis ta lumière et ta foi
Si tu peux, cherche encore plus fort
Et si jamais tu te perds
Je serai là
Cherche encore (et le temps, les gens continuent d'avancer)
(Si tu tombes avant, je saurai te porter) je serai là
(Et les vents, les ans, continuent de tourner) cherche encore, cherche encore
(Si l'oubli t'attend, moi aussi j'attendrai) je serai là
(Et le temps, les gens continuent d'avancer)
(Si tu tombes avant, je saurai te porter)
(Et les vents, les ans, continuent de tourner)
(Si l'oubli t'attend, moi aussi j'attendrai)
(Et le temps, les gens continuent d'avancer)
(Si tu tombes avant, je saurai te porter) cherche encore
(Et les vents, les ans, continuent de tourner)
(Si l'oubli t'attend, moi aussi j'attendrai) cherche encore, cherche encore
The song "Cherche Encore" by Céline Dion is all about perseverance, the search for something better, and the importance of never giving up.

The song advises its listeners to keep searching within themselves for the beauty and light that they desire. They should continue to follow their inner vision and not let the obstacles hold them back. "Cherche Encore" translates to "keep searching" or "search again" in English, and it is a powerful message.
The singer also promises to be there for the listener if they ever lose their way or find themselves struggling. She requests that they keep searching and continue to follow their passions and not let time, people, or forgetfulness deter them from their personal journey. The song emphasizes that anything is possible if the listener keeps searching and never loses their hope or drive.
Interestingly, "Cherche Encore" was not written by Céline herself but by Jean-Jacques Goldman, who is considered one of France's greatest songwriters.

La Bible : "Nous étions tous errants comme des brebis, Chacun suivait sa propre voie; Et l'Eternel a fait retomber sur lui l'iniquité de nous tous."
Jésus : "Je suis le chemin, la vérité, et la vie. Nul ne vient au Père que par moi."
Jésus : "Je suis la lumière du monde; celui qui me suit ne marchera pas dans les ténèbres, mais il aura la lumière de la vie."
Jésus : "Car Dieu a tant aimé le monde qu'il a donné son Fils unique, afin que quiconque croit en lui ne périsse point, mais qu'il ait la vie éternelle."
Jésus : "Repentez-vous, et croyez à la bonne nouvelle."
